Unpopular view coming up.
I think cinematograpic effects such as focus pulling, and the use swallow depth of field lenses don't belong in news. There was an awful example from Ed Thomas on last night's BBC 10pm news, I was so distracted by it, this morning I can't even recall the subject matter.
There also seems to be a rash of the '25p' filmic effect, even on live reports. Hard to tell sometimes whether it's deliberate, accidental, or just due to poor training.
I'm a huge fan of Chris Mason, but I'm not a huge fan of that style of reporting while the event is still in progress, or finishing up. Seems to have started about 10 years ago with sports news reporting.
